The best way to start up would be to have eough start up captial to feed your site a few hundred thousand hits a day, and to have exclusive shit to build tons of bookmarkers off of that purchased traffic, while you are doing that focus on the seo side of things
I started out with a free TGP thumb script and a free trade script.
I made a tgp design myself and spent $20 for my first months of shared hosting. Things were slow but they picked up more and more as I read post after post on boards and spoke to more and more helpful webmasters on ICQ.
Yall all started with zero, when it was zero mofos in the game. 5-10ys ago.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
How much minimum let's say to start a paysite? Much like everyone else right now I'm starting with $0 except the shared hosting which is about $9 per month plus what i spent on the domain name.. (a free site I have)...
theres no way anyone started with $0
you at least needed a computer and a host and an isp. Plus there is prolly some software you bought or pirated.
Well i hand coded everything myself.. as for computer.. i had it before i even considered entering this business so i don't consider that the cost of business because i didnt buy it for business originally... and software.. yeah well i do have Photoshop CS 8.0 Middle Eastern version that a friend gave me on a disk that is not the original...
